On February 28, 2023, a person reported that her wallet had been taken out of her purse while she was shopping in the Albertson's at Stockdale and Coffee Roads. A credit card in that wallet was then used to make more than $1,000 worth of purchases at another store.

The two people suspected of the crime are a male and a female, both described as Hispanic. The male is in his 30's with a medium build and short, dark hair. He also has a goatee in security photographs. He was wearing a blue and white plaid pattern shirt with blue jeans, brown boots, and a black baseball cap.

The female suspect is in her 20s or 30s with a medium build and long, dark hair. She was wearing a green long-sleeved top with black leggings and black and white casual shoes. She was also wearing a black facemask.
